Ballisodare Report – Fishery Closed, but Oxygen levels good
Gerry Merrick provides a report from the Ballisodare Fishery – 22nd July 2026
Fishery Closed for the past two weeks
The last two weeks at Ballisodare Fishery have been enormously stressful for salmon due to extremely high water temperatures in both the river and the estuary, generally exceeding 23 deg.C, with readings over 25.0 recorded on occasion. However, dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels remained high, over 100% Sat and generally over 9 mg/L. Levels of under 70% are lethal for salmon, so we had a comfortable margin in that respect.
